writing for a nearly 7 year old

[moshlings]

My nearly 7 year old ds is about to go into year 2. He is doing well with his writing at school and has petty good handwriting, but when i ask him to do any writing at home he moans and groans. He has just said writing is boring. How can i make it more fun? O r should i leave it to school. We have tried postcards, letters, diary, story etc.
